Is there anything natural that i can use for bad period cramps. I am tired of taking ibuprofen which works only sometimes anyway. I am into natural stuff and would really appreciate some suggestions on natural pain remedies. Thanks!

Sweetie,dont invest in those medications especially for this.There are a number of things that you can do yourself,to calm cramps.First off,purchase a heating pad,you can also get "heating patches".These are your best buy if you are very active.Which leads me to my next suggestion,become more active.Despite how you may not feel like going to the gym or for a work out,that is something that can help calm cramps.Cutting out your caffine intake can also help control them.There are those days when you are not going to feel like doing anything,and that is ok.Purchase a heating pad,your favorite magazine,and lounge around all day.Cramps are horrible for some females,myself included.So,that one day is well deserved.Good luck hun,and have a good day!

To get really natural, lifestyle can affect menstrual symptoms. Are you sleeping and eating well, exercising reasonably, and keeping stress well-managed? These are long term ways you may be able to reduce your cramps.

A heating pad helps, also exercising (bicycling is good), and hot tea. A natural herb for pain is willow bark.

make a blend of 2 drops each of juniper berry, geranium and clary sage in 5ml of sweet almond carrier oil and gently rub at the lower abdomen and sacrum(the v part at the base of spine) before and during your menstruation to relieve the tensed muscles which result in cramps and pain.

Have you tried the heat pads ?
they stick to your tummy and warm for up to 8 hours they are really good and you cannot see them through your clothing, you can get them from most chemists

Just have a cuppa...
It always works for me. Its the heat I think.
Plus its tea, you can't beat it, especially with a biscuit
